Recipe Introduction

Unlucky 13? Some people believe in it and some people don't. But, most people think Friday the 13th is a good day to stay out of harm's way. Every year has at least one Friday the 13th - but never more than three (and isn't that lucky?) The fear of Friday the 13th is called Triskaidekaphobia. Can anybody spell that?

Misfortune Cookies:

This recipe makes approximately 18 cookies. You will need to multiply ingredients depending on the number of cookies you want to make. For your misfortune messages, use 3 x 1/2 inch (8 x 1 cm) pieces of paper.


3 tbsp (50mL) softened butter
3 tbsp (50mL) granulated sugar
1 egg white
1/2 tsp (2mL) vanilla
1/3 cup (75mL) all-purpose flour




Recipe

In small bowl, mix together butter, sugar, egg white and vanilla; stir in flour until well blended. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls (5mL) at a time onto greased baking sheet; spread into 3-inch (8cm) circle using back of spoon. Bake, one sheet at a time, in 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Place baking sheet on rack. Loosen cookies with spatula and turn over; place folded misfortune in center. Quickly and gently fold cookie in half; press edges together for several seconds. Grasp ends of cookie, place center over rim of glass and gently press ends down to bend cookie in middle. Place each cookie in muffin cup to retain shape until cooled. Repeat with remaining cookies. (If cookies become to brittle to fold, return to oven briefly to soften.)
